2009 still counts, though, that was what I was highlighting. It was the best season in recent history and Brett was a tremendous teammate by all accounts (and the question you asked was about the last time the Vikings had a QB that cared about his teammates; it's Brett)._________________

It was a petty attempt to call me out on something you have done yourself, not to mention that it derailed the thread and drew attention away from the point I was making. I've noticed this is becoming something of a trend with you, unfortunately. Please avoid it because it's really not beneficial to the FF community as a whole.

jeeeez...

but comments like this from you are acceptable, i guess, and don't derail a discussion:

Really? You removed the rest of my post and picked out that one line? That kind of picking and choosing is an overt attempt at framing someone wrongly. I'm equally amazed and disappointed by this. I can't just sit back and watch that kind of hypocrisy; it's not right and no one should stand for it. The high horse behavior is totally unnecessary.

Anyway, I'd like to take this moment to apologize to Klomp if I offended him at all. I'm not so small that I can't recognize when I've done something that could be wrong and I'm big enough to admit it. No use having bad blood with my Vikings brethren (and as such, I don't expect my forum brothers to call me out wrongly); I'd rather save that for Packer fans._________________

I should of been more specific then and meant longterm. 1 or 2 year stunts really don't count to me._________________Bridgewater's response to "Teddy Time"

It’s not [nice], I’m still the young guy here and I still have a lot to prove and I still have a lot to work for.

Ponder's leadership and swagger is what I love the most when's the last time the Vikings have had such a clear cut leader of the team?

Brett Favre.

Favre was a great leader on the field, but his antics surrounding the actual season (like not showing up to training camp) don't speak in his favor.

He was the old man who didn't really feel like he had to lead by example anymore, because he had done it all before. That's fine, but I'm glad that this time around, with a young team, we have a QB that's willing to invest in this team all-year 'round._________________

Actually that's more of a misconception than anything else, something that's gained more of a life of its own after 2010 left a bad taste in our mouths.

The reason I say that is because the players themselves spoke very highly of Brett's leadership and captaincy, and his positive effect on the locker room was transformational and a joy to see. There can be no greater endorsement, and it wasn't just teamspeak.

I agree that a young QB investing in his team year-round is something to feel good about. Seeing that kind of dedication is refreshing and heartening._________________
